Here's a revealing bit of what Hubbard had to say about reporters
and government officials. Fair use extracts are taken from HCO PL
26 December 1966 "Admin Know How - PTS Sections, Personnel and Execs":

"One is to always tape record _visibly_ whatever the agent from such
a suppressive group says. 'Ah. Mr. Figuretwist of the Tax Division?
Good. Now wait a minute so I can record whatever you say. Good. It's
now recording. Go ahead.'"

***

"There are no good reporters. There are no good government or SP
group agents.The longer you try to be nice the worse off you will be."

***

"Never give such persons access to persons high up in the org-or unit.
Turn such over to special personnel who can get the business over with
at once and get the agent off the premises soon."

***

"The staff personnel who handles should point at the agent if other
staff is about and say some key word like 'This is a government man'
at which all other staff in the unit turns its back or pointedly walks
off."

***

"Develop a system to restrain the SP from easily influencing such
org personnel as may remain in contact."

***

"Handle the business they present as effectively as possible on
special channels. Don't be nice. Limit their reach."

***

"Work gradually but steadily into a position to remove suppressives
from the social groups in question, such as becoming more influential
as an org, suing, exposing, public education and other means."

***

Here's some more from Hubbard's HCO PL 15 August 1967 "Discipline -
SPs and Admin - How Statistics Crash":

"However if anyone is getting industrious trying to enturbulate
or stop Scientology or its activities I can make Captain Bligh look
like a Sunday school teacher. There is probably no limit on what I
would do to safeguard Man's only road to freedom against persons who,
disdaining processing, seek to stop Scientology or hurt Scientologists."

I ask you, the reader, what kind of man blanketly labels ALL reporters,
government officials and tax agents as *EVIL* beings?
